smartmedia reader

[kilo]

Does anyone have any info on getting a Lexar smartmedis acre reader to work? I am running Suse 7.3 and the device seems to be recognized, and is even assigned /dev/sda but when I go to mount it it says that I have specified the wrong filesystem type. I have tried auto, vfat, ntfs, ext2, resierfs, iso9660
I know the device is working because when I try to mount it the light on the drive does light up, so I think I just need to know what filesystem type to specify.
any help would be appreciated, Thanks

sorry about the bad typing skills
I meant smartmedia card reader

From previous smartcard threads I've read here, I believe they use fat32.

mount -t vfat /dev/sda# /mnt/<mountpoint>

I was able to get it working for a minute but here is what happened. I went into windows and deleted all the files and folders off the drive and when I went back into Linux I was able to mount it as vfat. The wierd thing is as soon as I put the card into my camera and take a picture I can no longer mount the card. So my camera seems to be altering the filesystem to the point where linux no longer reconginizes it as fat32. any ideas?

I just tried a forum search for 'smartcard' and found a few previous threads on the subject.

Try those suggestions and see if they help.
